Wasn't Toda a male Enki before?
« on: February 13, 2006, 03:02:00 pm »
You know, I traveled to Ojaveda for the first time in a couple weeks and when I wandered around I saw that Toda was a female Enki. Wasn\'t Toda male before? Or is my memory worse then my current cold:P?

No you are correct.
I heard however that Toda being male was a mistake, that has now been corrected. So the female mesh is actually the correct one. :)

This is funny, Toda the Transsexual... :D
I wonder why they only discovered it after such a long time.

I\'m wondering why they changed it. I mean everyone knows Toda as a male enki and \"he\" has been that way that long...., but on the other hand don\'t really care it\'s just strange ;)

Heh .... Toda has made a great deal of changes for someone ..... he is shy...... and wants to get with Toda. :P There is a reason for the change. I have said to much... *looks around waiting for her to be struck down by the gods* O.o

Why can\'t females talk like females, and males talk like males, then? Even with his/her new mesh, he/she still doesn\'t sound feminine.

Indeed, wheres lies the problem. I wrote a quest that used the Male Toda, and all the mannerisms are wrong now:p. I\'ll have to re-script it.

I\'m glad to know that I wasn\'t hallucinating though :).

I find stereotypes scripted into behavior boring :P

Toda itself is a male\'s name, I figure they should make \"her\" a lot more feminine than that. In fact, all of them should be. Chat should be different with each NPC, not just certain individual ones. A female Dwarf, and Jayose, said almost the exact same things. =/

Where do you get this information? Is it written somewhere, in stone perhaps? :P The \'a\' ending is actually feminine by most standards.

And you\'re an expert on female dwarf behavior..? Should they all go \"Tee hee\" and talk about clothes and shiny trinkets? I can\'t believe anyone is actually bringing this up.

Men and Women do talk differently, and I\'m not talking \'stereotypes\'. Usually it\'s how they phrase a thought, or an expression they use. It\'s most noticeable in how they respond to something, the most common one I think in PS would be responding to a threat.
This is not sexism, this is life. And if you try to neuter every character, you end up with a stale bland world. Toda definitely talks male.
